[gmx-users] Topology file error for a ligand

Thanks a lot Mark and Justin for your replies.

If PRODRG results have to be taken with a pinch of salt, then can you please
suggest me how to get the proper topology for my ligand, just hints. In
particular the .itp file is missing the HZ, HB2 and HB3 hydrogen atoms,
which are present in the PDB and GRO files. But the other hydrogen atoms are
defined properly. Any suggestion is welcome.


Regards,


Anirban
